These compounds resist changes in consistency at temperatures up to 177°C (350°F), maintaining a positive heat sink seal to improve heat transfer from the electronic device to the heat sink or chassis, thereby, increasing the overall efficiency of the device. Features
• Suitable for CPU, chipsets on Mainboard, VGA card, etc. • Easy to use.• Zif Socket Templates ensure correct applying area with various CPU socket types.• Produces an even layer when using applicator.• Dielectric.• Wide range of application temperature.

The Intel Core i7-6700K has sated the appetite of enthusiast gamers since August 2015, but if a quad-core chip just doesn't tickle your fancy, you might have been twiddling your thumbs in anticipation of a new HEDT (High End Desktop) part.

Intel generally follows a tick-tock philosophy for new processor launches. The tick represents a shrinking of the manufacturing process - 32nm to 22nm, for example - while the tock is indicative of a new architecture based on the leading process of that time. This has been the case since 2007.

The modern PC is potentially a mass of heat output and heat production hot spots. With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two!), multiple hard drives the norm, lots of memory and mainboards covered in heatpipes to combat toasty core logic and PWM circuits, a PC appreciably warming up a room when it’s working hard is no joke.

Watercooling for the PC has been around for years in some form or another, for at least as long as Scan have been in business, with basic physics defining why you want to use it. That means for air cooling, to cope with increasing temperature in the heatsink you need to move the air across it faster. That is why thermostatically controlled fans in your PC will turn faster the hotter something gets.

This is a good thermal compound that it's an essential item in every Geeks arsenal.
Recommended.

Rated 4 out of 5 by chinny liked it
Well it was very easy to spread, others I've used have been to tacky in my opinion. Haven't measured thermal properties but my nephew say's the rig runs ok and he uses it for gaming.

Good quality compound.
Very easy to use syringe applicator and comes with not just a credit style spreader, but CPU templates also.
Excellent if you have never used before or not!
